| To understand Silicon Valley, you really need to see the peninsula and the South Bay. I’d spend a day, start with breakfast at Hobees in Sunnyvale or Cupertino, check out 1 Infinite Loop, drive around the Google campus area, _maybe_ stop at the NASA Ames visitor center. Drive down to San Jose to see that peculiar city, and have lunch at yeh newish San Pedro Square Market or SoFA market - or the classics like Henry’s Hi-Life or Original Joe’s. Maybe check out the old-school tech beomoths like Intel. Spend some time at the Computer History Museum (and the food trucks there on Friday evenings!). That could be a day trip in itself. Skip the Tech Museum in San Jose (it’s a great museum, but its not something unmissable if you’re short on time). End your day with a trip to one of the peninsula city centers and have a meal at a place with good Yelp reviews. I’d recommend Dish Dash in Sunnyvale. That’s not the most touristy or startup-focused of trips, but you’ll see the Silicon Valley that’s really lived in by the people that make their homes here. |
